During his first term, others in the administration talked Trump down to sanctions and "maximum pressure". Now those people are gone and Rubio, Venezuela arch-hawk, is Secretary of State.

This is nonsense. This is an extension of the policies from Trump's first term. It was Rubio (not Miller) who convinced Trump to back Guaidó after the election, just as it's Rubio's show now. Trump threatened military action then, too.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

Shocked to learn that despite 1,000 op-eds about how they are now a workers' party, Republicans are doing what they always do when they're in power
We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.
Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

Over the last year, Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of many wealthy business executives with ties to his regime, businesses, or campaign.
If you’re rich, well-connected, or have something to offer Trump, a presidential pardon is a possibility. The White House is now a pay-to-play.

If I had a nickel for every time a wrestler bit another wrestler in the crotch during a tombstone piledriver this year, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, and I'm kind of surprised it doesn't happen more often in wrestling.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.
